❀ 7th Konpeito ❀ [Video/Action] (Backdated to 13th July morning)

VIDEO

[When you open up the video feed, you'll see Saionji's face pressed up really close to the screen. As if she doesn't want to show anything else. You can hear an endless pitter-patter of rain in the background, too. HEY GUESS WHO GOT UNCEREMONIOUSLY SCARED OUT OF HER WITS YESTERDAY? The, ahem, recent events in Goldenrod definitely didn't help to calm her down when that happened. Holy shit.

Now that she's awake, though, it's time to be a good citizen and inform everyone of something odd going on! ...Right?]

Someone, send a search party to look for a dead body in the National Park. Specifically, one that might have been torn apart by birds.

[She's not at Goldenrod yet, so she keeps the message short- which might not be a good idea. Who needs explanations, anyway? She's Saionji Hiyoko, just fucking do it!]

ACTION

[If you're in Route 35 or the general north outskirts of Goldenrod, you might spot a girl with a short bob cut walking in the rain with the most sour expression and a pathetic yellow wax umbrella over her head. She's tucked her (utterly drenched) large yellow hat under her right arm. She normally wears it to conceal that hideous new haircut of hers, but she doesn't want to have even more a headache than she already has.

And when I say she looks utterly miserable, I mean 'her kimono is drenched up till kneelength with mud, she's sniffling periodically and there is dried soil between her toes' miserable.

...Will you approach? She looks like she might bite you.]

[Oh, Jimmy! Wonder if she can extort him a bit with this...]

It's horrible! At night, I heard chuckling near me- then a shrill, loud scream that sent shivers down my spine!

Uuu... I spent the whole night getting away...

[awesmazings]

Gosh, you- you're okay though, right? Do you need any help?

[Like seriously that sounds horrible, what the heck.]

[konpeitoqueen]

[Ohoh, there it is.]

Big Bro Garry is coming to pick me up, but... uuu... what do I do when I get back? I still have so much to do...

[is she still trying to make him her servant

really]

[awesmazings]

[....Saionji no.]

Well...what do you have to do? Is it a lot?

very angrily boomerangs

[konpeitoqueen]

[Weeeeeell-]

I need to make money to move in with Big Bro Garry and Ib... and clean my kimono, and my hair, and pack up to move, and find somewhere else to eat because my favorite food place is closing down, and-

[blah blah blah

It honest to god goes on for two whole minutes before it switches off automatically. DAMN, SAIONJI.]

[awesmazings]

[GOODNESS GRACIOUS CHILD.]

Right, right! Super busy, then...

[..Anyway.]

So what.....what about the....body, then. What was that about?

[konpeitoqueen]

[PLEASE STOP TALKING TO SAIONJI, JIMMY. FOR YOUR OWN SAKE.]

That scream wasn't human, but it wasn't a Pokémon, either. It's terrible to describe... but when I went to check on the source, I found a huge gash in the tree, along with some black feathers.

Whatever it was, it might've not gotten away unscathed.

[awesmazings]

[Tell him that all you want, it doesn't mean he's going to actually listen.]

M...maybe it was a Pokemon nobody's ever seen before? ...I mean....new Pokemon are being found all the time, aren't they?

[konpeitoqueen]

Ugh, why does it have to come to me, then?

[And suddenly, she's back to being a brat. Mostly, she's a bit irritated by how Jimmy is both steering the conversation away from her and also not being smart enough to contribute much.]

[awesmazings]

[...Wow rude.]

I wish I could tell you. But, that sounds pretty neat! I mean, 'sides the fact that it scared you and all...

[konpeitoqueen]

It's not neat when you witness it yourself, dumb pig!

[SAIONJI CALM THE FUCK DOWN]

[awesmazings]

[WOW RUDE??]

R-right, sorry! It must've been really scary...

[He glances off to the side, rubbing the back of his neck.]

I'm glad you're okay though! Sounds like whatever it was went away..

[konpeitoqueen]

Yeah, I guess I got lucky. [She wants someone to boss around, since her Pokémon are no longer options... so you'll do for now, Jimmy.]

Uuugh... where are you, by the way? [Region, town, etc.- wait, should you even tell her?]

[awesmazings]

[PROBABLY NOOoot whoops there he goes anyway.]

I'm in Ecruteak right now! Planning on heading to Olivine in the next couple of days, if the rain lets up a little.

[konpeitoqueen]

[HMPH so you're heading away from her, huh...]

Enjoy your time in Ecruteak. The cuisine there is actually bearable, compared to most here.

[can you buy her stuff]

[awesmazings]

Thanks! I like it here so far! Rain and all.

[THOUGH HE DID GET HIS POKEMON STOLEN RIGHT BEFORE, SO THAT- KINDA TOOK FROM THE EXPERIENCE A BIT.

Also maybe if you ask nicely.]

[konpeitoqueen]

[gosh this boy can't take a hint]

Mmm... there are sugar gummies there, too! Pay a visit to the confectioneries shop- and by that, I mean the one near the towers that aren't tainted by Western, tooth-rotting garbage.

It's bound to change anyone's views on what real sweets are! Just don't eat the yellow gummies. Huh, if only I could taste some of them now, after that ordeal... [HINT HINT HINT OH GOSH]

[awesmazings]

[You have to understand, Saionji. This is Jimmy. He couldn't take a hint if it were taped to a rock and lobbed at top speed at his head.]

Oooh, I'll stop by there before I leave! After beating that last gym, it'd be nice to get a treat for me and my team, anyway.

[konpeitoqueen]

[GOOD GOD SOMETIMES SHE HATES IT WHEN PEOPLE ARE SO MUCH DUMBER THAN HER

MOST OF THE TIME IT MAKES HER LOOK BETTER BUT JESUS BOY]

Yeah, whatever. Just don't support the other trashy stores.

[she gives up tbh]

[awesmazings]

[OH WELL AT LEAST HE'S...NNNIIICE? Who knows though, maybe he'll figure it out later.]

I'll do my best. And you be careful, Saionji! If anything else happens, call someone right away.
